Benedict College has received a $100,000 grant from The Boulé Foundation to support the newly established The B.E.S.T. Leadership Institute, a transformational program designed to strengthen academic achievement, leadership development, career readiness, and graduation outcomes for Black male students.

The investment comes at a significant moment in the College's history. Benedict College now enrolls more male than female undergraduate students, making it one of the few historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) to reach this demographic milestone. The initiative reflects the College's commitment to ensuring those students not only enroll but thrive, graduate, and become leaders in their professions and communities.

The B.E.S.T. Leadership Institute is a comprehensive student-success cohort model that provides coordinated mentoring, academic advising, financial barrier intervention, leadership development, financial literacy, and career preparation. Grounded in Belonging, Educational Excellence, Service and Civic Responsibility, and Thoughtfulness Toward Others and the Campus, the B.E.S.T. Leadership Institute intentionally connects students with faculty, staff, alumni, business leaders, and professional mentors who will guide them throughout their collegiate journey.

Featured Photo: The Boulé Foundation was a major supporter of Dr. Artis and Benedict College in this important initiative. The B.E.S.T. Leadership Institute reflects the very principles upon which Sigma Pi Phi and The Boule Foundation were founded: leadership, scholarship, achievement, and service.
